Elders' Hall.
Count Merlin was reviewing a receipt, which was from Lord Kroia of the Steel Essence Dragon Knights, for the execution of the Thunderbolt Plan.
The Snow Giant Da had been repelled. Although it still lurked near the Shadowflame Grand Duchy, the threat had not been immediately lifted. Yet, the Grand Duchy still had its duties to attend to, the work must continue without interruption due to fear of the Snow Giant Da.
Such was the case with the Thunderbolt Plan.
The Flying Dragon Knights of Red Castle needed to continuously search the border areas of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy for Lightning Attraction Points to place Lightning Spears.
Only by channeling the power from the clouds into the earth through lightning could they accelerate the power of the Shadowflame Dragon and spread it over a broader expanse of the snowfield, thereby expanding their territory.
